Juiced 2 and FlatOut 360 demos News

Xbox 360 News by Tom Bramwell

19 July, 2007

Do you have an Xbox 360? Do you like racing around in cars? Then you've come to the right place! Well, you've come to a news item talking about the right place. Because the right place is Xbox Live Marketplace, where demos of Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights and FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage await.

Juiced 2's the bigger at 1.3GB, while FlatOut's ready to gobble up 750MB. The former's down for release in mid-September, aiming to build on the mod-heavy racing trends of the first game with lots of racing, drifting and betting (the first game allowed you to "pimp out" your car and then wager it in races). FlatOut, meanwhile, is already available, with its particular brand of Burnout-baiting action winning plaudits.

Elsewhere, Xbox Live watcher (and director of programming) Mr Major Nelson reports that our German friends can enjoy a special localised Blacksite teaser trailer, where all the aliens are all replaced by Care Bears and the big spaghetti octopus thing on the bridge is a flannel with a kitten on it. For all that and the truth, be German and download it.

Already own FlatOut UC (great if slightly frustrating game) so there's no need for me to try the demo (obviously!). However, I've been curious about Juiced 2 for a while now but didn't want to pre-order it until I'd tried it as there's been too many racing games on 360 of late and I didn't think this would stand out in any way. Well now I can find out!!! :)

I've always hated Juiced. Bland & boring game, pretty much a NFS wannabe, and that's no achievement.

I want something different!!... all these "modding" car games are so oooLD, right now.

And FlatOut... haven't played it before, I'll give it a go, I guess. Could be good.

I tried the Juiced demo for a bit, I didn't like it. FlatOut was fun.

@peteb:

Region lockout was only applied to the US Marketplace, to stop those outside of the country from downloading their films.

I downloaded Flatout UC and was impressed right away! Reminds me of the classic destruction derby game on the PS1 mixed in with a bit of Burnout.

As for Juiced 2 I haven't tried it and doubt I ever will. The first Jucied game apparently wasn't very impressive so I doubt this is going to turn heads either.

@BBIAJ

erm... i was downloading stuff over e3 week from the US Live servers. When did they implement that?

EDIT: Oh does it just apply to their film stuff? Demos and Game vids still fine?

I really like flatout, but glad of the demo as it is really just flatout 2 HD.

It doesn't feel next gen from the ground up the way Dirt does, and with flatout 2 for ps2 already on my shelf not worth it until it is 6 quid on ebay.

Having said that, if you don't have flatout 2, and want this cheap, try shopto.com, who have it for 23.99

FlatOut should be a blast on live. But too expensive for me at the mo' though, I'll wait a while.

Juiced sucks. And the artwork is ripped from the ugliest gangsta rap albums they could find.

Flatout demo was pretty cool, as long as you don't go in expecting Destruction Derby handling on the cars (took me four goes on the DD mode to get rid of that feeling!)

@ Poorandugly

It's only £24.99 on Play.com. Not too bad. I'll probably get it when it hits £17.99, as I suspect it'll mostly get used as my sole party game, what with all the 'projectile-driver' mini-games...
